Woke up this morning feeling very blessed to be disabled - I reckon my parents are pretty happy about it too.

Feeling sorry for us and our families doesn’t help. Treating us equally, and giving us the choice and control over our own lives does

Big shout out to Emma Caird for engineering the video. All the participant + advisor stories are unscripted interviews, Emma has been very careful not to take out of context what people said + made sure all participants saw it before release to make sure they were happy with it.

One of the highlights for me from last night's Queensland Aphasia Research Centre launch was when @YvetteDAth & members of the Bowness Family Foundation met with the #QARC consumer advisory group, who shared their experience of living with #aphasia & being involved in the centre!
